Paint or Rhino-line?
#31
Just wanted to make a quick correction on my above post.
Seems the PlastiKote is sticking to everything except the bumper end caps (front and back) and the rubber strip on the roof rack rails. I am assuming due to flex. The fender flair I painted is definately no coming off. Also did my mirror housings. Holding up pretty good where I was able to get the wire wheel too. Not so well where I was not able to ruff it up.
So far very happy with the PlastiKote. I decided to keep my extra gallon (I bought 2, but only used 1) to maybe to a few extra coats in the spring.

Should definitely check out raptor line. Great u.v. protection extremely strong. The racing guys have been usin it as undercoating here for a while. Sprayer my 72 wagoneer with it and it looked amazing. Would post pics but i sold it a year after i painted it but it looked great still after a year.

I use Rustoleum truck bed liner in a can... it's the best spray can stuff you can get. I paid $8 per can but its worth it and you can stretch a can pretty far. The Rustoleum doesnt have much texture but it has enough.. Almost like there's a fine grain sand in it... And it's tough...
I used it to coat from the rocker panels to the horizontal trim.
Been a few years now and its holding up great...just about in-destructable.
If i get around to it, might coat the bumpers with it too!
Dries fast too!

I used herculiner and did the entire jeep inside and out. Took 2 days to dry but it looks just as good as my friends that was rhino lined and at 1/10th the price

For anyone currently reading this thread and thinking about what to use, i second the Rustoleum bedliner in the rattle cans.
